St. Olaf College

Located here in the middle of the campus green, above two busy walkways, is St. Olaf’s Memorial Wind Chime Tower. This captivating Scandinavian-style structure was proposed by the class of 2003 to honor St. Olaf students who have lost their lives before graduation. The name of each student is engraved on a single chime, and collectively, the chimes are tuned to the song “Beautiful Savior” in the key of D. The sound varies depending upon the strength of the wind on any given day, and can sometimes reach as far as the edges of campus.
